Know that truth, forgiveness and love can heal the world

Imagine if all of us could be truthful with ourselves, start forgiving everyone, and start loving everyone.

We would no longer be selfish, gossiping would be over, and we would no longer judge one another. The world would become a place where all of us live in love.

The Moon is full in Libra today. The Full Moon phase is the time to resolve or conclude issues that are causing us pain. Relationships are paramount in Libra so if there is something that is not fitting right then now is the perfect time to readjust or renegotiate.

Our affirmation for today is appropriate I should think. Know that truth can heal the world. I offer this mantra as lead into your conscious creation.

It’s a 333 day – these numbers add up to nine. A nine day offers conclusion, resolution and ultimate empowerment. This numerological sequence aligns perfect with the astrological influences of the day.

Temperance is the first card in my morning spread. She represents the angel of truth and forgiveness. The constant flow of emotions is shifted between a gold and silver vessel. This flow represents the constant search for balance between male and female energies.

The Moon is the centre card for today. The silver orb is full and ripe for recognition. Be loyal to yourself and your dreams. And you will accomplish magic in the world. Access the deep pools of your subconscious and your creativity will be replenished for eternity.

Emperor reminds us that the Sun is still in Aries. It’s wonderful that we are honouring our feminine, spiritual and creative aspects under this moon phase. However, Zeus commands that there is still work to be done. Thoughts, words and concepts mean nothing if you don’t put the action verbs into the sentence.

March 2010 is drawing to a close with a glorious full stop. The Full Moon in Libra pushes relationships to the forefront of our minds. The relationship with ourselves, with our family, friends and colleagues is influenced under the shimmering magnificence of the Goddess of love. Be true to yourself and make love the source of everything you think, feel and say. This is the track that leads us toward our rightful destiny. If you don’t like the track you are on now then carve out a new one today. PS: Don’t forget to close the door first!

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Love is the medicine that accelerates healing

Love yourself, love your neighbour, love your enemies, but begin with self-love. You cannot love others until you love yourself. You can not share what you do not have. If you do not love yourself, you cannot love anyone else either.

Love is all there is!

I’ve been watching the Beatles Anthology over the past couple of weeks and have been reminded, once again, of their brilliance and more importantly their messages of love.

Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison gave live interviews and John Lennon gave his account of the history of the Beatles through taped TV and radio recorded interviews. John’s contribution was with the support and approval of Yoko Ono Lennon which was very kind and generous of her.

This nostalgic trip was enlightening in some ways as I was only a ten year old girl when they first formed the band. Even then I can still recall singing, “I wanna hold your hand”.

During the series I said to my husband that I’ve loved and admired these individual artists and collectively as a group for over forty years. Now, that is one substantial relationship, don’t you think? The most revealing aspect of this devotion was that they’d had grown up with me, and most importantly made an impact on my life and of course our culture. And they are still doing that today!

My heart and gratitude burns strong for their influence in our lives and if we stop and think about it their messages of love, relationship and peace will remain a constant in our consciousness forever.

The Moon is in Libra today and is a powerful source for love and harmony. Relationships are a priority as the Moon offers negotiation through balance and respect. Libra is in harmony with the impulsive Sun in Aries. While he pulsates an individualistic beat he also reminds us of the importance of self-love. Love yourself first and the shed your love and light into the world.

It’s a number eight day of balance and achievement. See what we can achieve by putting our minds and hearts into the frame of love. I guess we could say that there is a common theme here today – don’t you agree? Perhaps we should just take the hint?

The High Priestess preaches a prophecy of enlightenment through truth. How can we live with a divine purpose when we drown in denial? Lift up your eyes and see the relevance of your lessons – give thanks for these gifts. Lift up your mind and see the liberation in truth and you will be set free.

Empress is harvest the experiences of the season. For everything there is a reason and we are merely a tiny speck of insignificance shinning brightly in the Universe of wonder. Our reason for our existence is embedded in our DNA. Our purpose is something much more brilliant.

The World offers opportunities wrapped in delicious fruit. The fruit hangs low on the vine and is ready for the picking. Our lives do not hold relevance in the opinions of others. Our lives are relevant because we live them.

Go into the world and make your mark. Smile at a stranger. Be honest with yourself. There are millions of self help books and even more gurus who preach the lessons of the human existence. You, My Friend are the only guru that matters. You are the source of all things meaningful and masterful in the world.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Love is kind and just

When you are in love, a smile is always on your face. You feel good about yourself because you are happy, you are kind. Love is also just; when you make a mistake, you pay only once for that mistake.

Have you ever beaten yourself up over a mistake? Have you kept yourself in guilt ridden bondage because you’ve spoken your mind or stuffed up somehow. Well, I have!

I suppose the final sentence of our healing statement this morning is the most difficult for me to accept. In that view, I want to apologise to every person I’ve hurt during my life and send them love and healing.

Speaking of healing – oh my Goddess! What a cathartic experience I had yesterday? I had my shopping spree with MoonHawk. Talk about blow your mind! We had a blast. Now I have to apologise for the money I spent – but I got some serious bargains – really! Plus I’ve given the economy a real boost so even the Prime Minister should be pleased!

We started out with a coffee date – caught up quickly and set a verbal agenda. Then we strategically mapped out our objects and went for it! We stopped for lunch (rejuvenation – always a must) a pot of tea and an astrological catch up; then a mental checking off of outstanding items and back into it.

I tell you that “show and tell” was a splendid performance when I got home! I told my husband that he was really quite lucky I had brought so many wonderful items and most of them were on sale – bargain! I also gave him the analytical scenario – and then explained the two for one ratio and how that option was so much more economical than by buying one piece of something else. He was lost in my reasoning – I don’t know why?

It was a spectacular and exhausting extravaganza. When can we go again? I suppose I’d better pick up the Virgo moon energy and consider a reconciliation of the budget deficit – darn.

Yes, the Moo is in Virgo – and the Sun is in Aries. The Sun is saying, just go for it and the Moon is suggesting diplomacy while offering caution and prudence. It is an opportune great time to review your diet – are you honouring your body? Are you being true to your goals and resolutions?

It’s a number seven day – a day of inner reflection – a good day to stay true to your personal agreements. While the number seven offers inner discoveries it’s a comfortable platform for meditation – peace and harmony through quiet introspection.

The calm and sensible energies of the day are a nice balance of the wild fun and manic moments of yesterday. I ope you had a great ride too!

My subconscious story board is revealing with three Major Arcana symbols. The first one to appear is the Star. The Goddess of love and beauty shines brightly in my spread. I am fortunate that she has presented as a beacon of hope and poise in my morning expedition.

The Empress is pregnant with new beginnings and is ready to give birth. She is a pragmatic Goddess and possesses astute bargaining skills. She runs the gambit of options, plays to win but doesn’t mind the odd trade off. Aren’t we all like that sometimes?

Just is fair and kind. She is mindful of the strife we can get ourselves into; tied up in knots with the result being self-loathing and chronic disgust. Why should we waste our most precious resources on issues we can’t control? Yes, of course take responsibility for what you’ve done – allow the truth to infiltrate your self-recrimination. Forgive yourself for your human frailties and shine your love into the world.

The Sun beams in through my window. It is low in the east and has the power to capture the tiny facets on my crystals that hang above my bed. My room is filled with millions of rainbows and I am alive with the vibrancy of magic. May the magic of the rainbows fill your heart and spread the sun shine of love across your face.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Heal yourself and your relationship will heal, too!

If you can heal yourself, then you are going to be ready for a relationship without fear, without need. If you and your partner each work on yourselves, you will see how quickly progress is made.

The world is my oyster and I am reaching up toward the heavens to pluck the ripe fruit from the tree. I am celebrating the end of a cycle and enjoying the promise of a new phase.

This phase is heralded by the Empress and her high regard for the cycle of life. She has come into my reading this morning to announce the freshness of a brilliant new start.

The Devil announces the liberation from oppression. This does not necessarily equate to human bondage but rather an exit strategy from fear of the unknown. We can become imprisoned by our own fears – want a key? Do you want me to help you pick the lock? Brilliant!

The Hierophant offers the soul elixir. Come here little Girl and I will heal your heart and soul. He is wise, yes of course – we already knew that about him. We are assured that he only allows those who are ready to pass the entrance of the cave. Set boundaries and be strong. Don’t linger within the pool of negativity – it will stain your heart forever.

It is a number six day – a day of commitment and responsibility. It is up to us to exploit the benefits of the day and tip the scales between fun, work and honouring ourselves.

Well, my plan is to do all three – I am off on a shopping excursion with one of my fav. Gal pals, MoonHawk. We plan to hit the Mall and shop until we drop. Awesome. It’s a great day for it too!

The Moon is in Virgo – she is in her discreet and discerning phase. Virgo is an earth sigh so there is some practicality about this phase. When the Moon is in Virgo we become focused on our health and well-being and quite often our daily rituals are under scrutiny.

People often give Virgos a hard time but I adore them. Well, my Mum is a Virgo so what can I say? Sure, I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve been a logger heads with her but over all she has been a wise, loving and healing earth mother. I have many friends who are Virgos too and they all play an integral part in my multi-coloured tapestry of friendships. Now, I am off to play with my Libran thread 

Peace, Love and Happiness,

Love and honour your physical body

To crate a relationship that takes you all the way to heaven, you have to accept your body completely. You have to love your body and allow it to be free to give, free to receive without being shy. Because shy is nothing but fear.

Wow! What a concept? Not sure I am ready to embrace that suggestion just yet. Although, I must admit I am enjoying a much healthier relationship with my body at the present. The desire to feed my emotions and consume poor food choices has passed and now I view food as medicine, quality energy and positive fuel source for my body.

Yesterday I did a Pilates class and was very connected to my body. I felt relaxed and stretched my limbs and focused on my core. In the afternoon I was vibrant and focused. It’s a good place to be in.

Last night I had a glorious facial with my favourite beauty therapist, Kim. She is a creative and energetic person who is totally connected to my healing journey. My body treatments are total bliss.

Wednesday evening I saw another favourite pampering Goddess, Mary. I sat in her chair and said I need a change. I want to change my hair style, please? I was bored with the same do and especially tired of putting my hair up in clips. Now, I am sporting a concave bob – nice! Thank you Goddess of hair for listening to me and giving me what I desired. I adore you!

Change is in the air and it is highlighted today with a number five day. It is a day of movement, freedom and liberation. Change is all around you. Can you feel it?

My morning reading is phenomenal. I don’t want to gloat but honestly the cards are the pick of the crop. I must say that lately the pictures of my subconscious have been less than digestible. Well when you consider cards like, Death, The Devil and the Tower and let’s not forget the constant appearance of Judgement. Today we are on a different tack entirely with the Empress, Wheel of Fortune and Temperance – ahhh.

Essentially these cards represent a change in circumstances. The hard works, toil, grunt and frustration is over. The tide is turning and a new phase of empowerment is about to begin. I guess it all fits like some crazy jig saw puzzle in our souls. As we choose to change and groove in a new direction the pieces fit perfectly.

The day has not yet dawned and yet I feel the energy surge – the birth of a new and wonderful adventure is looming just beyond the rim.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

You are an artist of spirit

Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express you love openly. Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a master piece of art. So Be It!

The Moon in Leo pushes the creative boundaries. The Sun is in Aries and therefore the element of the day is fire. There is also a powerful alignment with the Sun and Pluto (Capricorn) which could mean an egotistical showdown. I suppose you could be hearing a lot of, “it’s all about me!” It is a good idea to keep our egos in check and try not to buy into the hard core energy of negotiation. Instead, take it easy on yourself and others. Forewarned is forearmed – don’t you think?

It’s a number four day of building foundations under your future. The talk-fest of the number three day from yesterday is over and now it is time to get some action verbs into your sentences and deliver outcomes. The time is to set up the formwork for a new production.

This has already been a week of new beginnings and with the Sun in Aries that concept has been highlighted. Now with a number four day we are asked to set the parameters for the day ahead. It is important to be discerning about each brick you choose. The building blocks of the future start with the choice of materials today.

Our theme today is about creativity and being an artist. My belief is that we are a constant stream of creativity from Spirit. Some painters pain what they see and others take in a view and allow the images to swirl around then begin the painting sources from their imagination. Sure, they have been inspired by a view or a tree but they layer these memories with the influence from spirit.

I’ve also heard that some song writers channel the words in a stream of consciousness and the tune flows into their fingers and the song becomes a perfect blend of imagination and creative flow.

When I write it is purely a tributary of consciousness. Of course I have certain stimuli and prompts such as the tarot, numerology, astrology and even some quotes for the day. However, the coating is an unedited script that flows from Spirit.

My question is, what do you want to me write today? What messages do you want me to take to the world with my journal entry? It depends of course, on who is around me at the time and their messages that they want to bring into our world. And I am sure that you too, relay the messages from your Guides in your daily creative ventures.

The Hierophant is the wise counsellor. He is aware of the potential for pain and rejection. He cautions that the angry mob is not a healthy environment to dwell. He is a victim of circumstance but chooses not to remain in the oppression of victimology. Create your temple and remain calm and centred. The queue to liberation will appear on the parchment and your days of exclusion will be over.

The Wheel of Fortune has such an appeal today. The fated discus moves to the sound of its mystical orchestra. The wheel is turning in my favour – I can feel it; see it; taste it; woo hoo I am free!

The Hanged Man represents the voluntary sacrifice we must consider. What are you prepared to give up getting your ticket out? Material possessions can be replaced – it’s only your self-esteem that is worth saving. The escape hatch clicks open – it’s nearly time.

Strength is the courage required to pack your bags and close the lid on yester-year. It’s been a ride. I’ve fallen over, skinned my knees and picked myself up and nursed the bruises. Time has been the teacher; the healer, the wise Lord of change – now I look to the sunrise for direction and inspiration. The easel is set and the pains glisten in the tin. The brush is poised ready to create the perfect dream for my life.

Love, peace and happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Be generous with your love

You are never going to be alone if you are generous with your love. What makes you happy is love coming out of you, and if you are generous with your love, everyone is going to love you.

The Moon in the most nurturing phase of the zodiac is a gesture from the cosmos that we all deserve to feel comforted. On the other side of that there is a danger of emotional eating. If you feel that you are out of balance emotionally try some relaxation techniques and or essential oils to calm the mind. I find that talking to a friend is a good way to navigate the emotional high seas too.

It’s a number three day of communication and short journeys. It’s a day to challenge the mind and get the grey matter functioning (even if it is at a creative level). Use your mind to survey a new prospect for accomplishment or discovery. Or perhaps a gentle cruise to some far off destination with the jet propulsion of your imagination may suffice?

My subconscious story board reveals a tale of truth, optimism and empowerment. The daily Major Arcana spread is a litmus test to see how I am tracking on my intuitive journey. It’s interesting to note that a particular theme develops and continues to replay until the light goes on and we get it and eventually make the decision to move on. Then of course a new reel is loaded and so is the story of our lives.

It’s true! I’ve been paying attention – this plotting, accomplishing and then moving on is like a streaming video on fast forward. We can consciously choose to ignore the signposts – you know living in denial just delays the inevitable or you can coat the realism with irrelevant or dysfunctional habits. The truth is in there – deep within our subconscious and there is no escape.

Justice stands for truth, fairness and a resolute frame of mind to cut away the crap. Be fair with your self-scrutiny – don’t allow the sensationalism creep in and taunt your inner critic.

The Hermit is passive in his wisdom – he shrugs, you can take it or leave it. But don’t ignore the warning signs and be careful where you step. Pay attention to the golden light of truth – it burns so brightly to guide you on your path.

The Sun augurs optimism and celebration. Without the Sun there is no life. When the Sun is shinning everything takes on clarity and perspective. Enjoy the dance of life and celebrate your uniqueness.

Temperance is enlightenment after the storm of regret and rejection – rise above the gaze of persecutors and you will be liberated.

Peace, Love and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Perceive with the eyes of love

If you have the eyes of love, you see love where you go. The trees are made with love. The animals are made with love. Everything is made with love. When you perceive with the eyes of love you see God everywhere.

The Moon is in Cancer and she reminds us of the importance of home and family. We crave a stable home life as this gives us security to go out into the world and be who we are meant to be. The Moon in her natal sign adds a glow of comfort. The allure of the comfy chair and romantic movies becomes very difficult to resist.

The Star shines brightly in my Major Arcana this morning. She is proud and confident – assertive and vivacious. Pandora does not want to control anyone she only wishes to see hope above the chaos. Shine as brightly as the stars in the sky.

Judgement suggests release and renewal. This is a life-long process, don’t you think? The churn and burn of the seasonal shifts give us the momentum to move along our path – whether we want to or not. It’s time – don’t prolong the glory of change. Being stuck does not look on our resume.

Hermes the Magician is adept in creation – he guides us with his mind. Pick up the tools that will carve out your destiny – the magic is in your mind and hands.

An 11/2 day promises to be a day of public and private revelations. We are in the midst of the master number and that means lessons come thick and fast. The day also augurs contracts and or agreements. People tend to be in a conciliatory mood.

The Sun in Aries is a motivating force. We are caught up in the fire and water elements at the moment. This can be beneficial from the perspective that we are driven by the fire and tempered by the water sign of cancer; or it can play out as steam.

We must be mindful in our pursuit of the blessed life that we must give and take and roll with the ebb and flow of life. Its not that we need to control the outcomes that flood into our world it is just that dealing with the circumstances that prevail can be tiresome and overwhelming.

We need to feed the quality experiences with love and devotion and balance and heart and mind with grace and peace.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Accept others the way they are

You cannot change other people. To try to change them is to fit what you want them to be is to be like trying to change a dog into cat, or a cat into a horse. They are what they are, you are what you are.

A 10/1 day augurs endings and beginnings. The end of a cycle can bring a relief and the beginning of another is a recipe for excitement.

The Moon in Gemini titillates the Aries sun – coaxing the fiery warrior to step up and play the game.

There is a Sun/Saturn link today which could see us stepping into the ego-v-authority zone. Having a nice healthy ego is a beneficial trait but if we become too egotistical then we are a danger to ourselves.

I watched P!nk in concert yesterday. I was fascinated by her creativity and versatility. I wanted to know more about her so I Google for some research. I read that she stated in an interview that her relationship with her husband was back on track after she discovered that it wasn’t okay to try and change him. She said that she was working on that as a part of their reconciliation. I suppose we can all learn that lesson, can’t we?

Have you ever found that in an effort to please someone you have changed? I guess a little a little bending or modification is good. But what happens when we loose a sense of ourselves? What if we look in the mirror and can hardly recognise our former self? It’s dangerous to continually change – bending and weaving the essence of you to the commands of another. Respect others for who they are and respect yourself for being you!

Justice does not bend. Athena is stoic in her icy demeanour. Her presence is authoritative and she will not waiver.

The Chariot heralds fast movement above and beyond the chaos of now. Destinations unknown – prepare for the ride of your life.

The World offers the blessings of the Universe. Reach other and take the offerings – you’ve earned them the hard way. You deserve the best today and everyday.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Play like a child

The happiest moments in your life are when you play just like a child, when you are singing and dancing, when you are exploring and creating lots of fun. It is wonderful when you behave like a child, because that is the normal human tendency.

Happy Aries Ingress! It doesn’t have the same ring to it as, Happy New Year or Happy Chinese New Year now does it? Historically the first day of the astrological year though so if 2010 hasn’t been the year you dreamed and planned for then take out the list and revise your goals.

Aries loves new beginnings. They are enthusiastic and highly motivated. Their passion is inflammable but they tend to run out of juice before completion. That is why they attract earth or air signs as those signs give them a dose of rationale or encourage them to the finish line.

The Moon is in Gemini today. She compliments Aries nicely. Gemini is an air sign and Aries is a fire – air and fire – a good mix don’t you think?

The Moon is in my natal sign and that means it is a new lunar return for me. I like the new lunar months as it gives a fresh perspective for the week ahead. I become excited at the prospect of unchartered experiences and events. It’s always a buzz to star a new lunar month.

In contrast a number nine day suggests conclusions and or resolutions. It is not wise to start something new today. Although revising your resolutions and ending the habits and attributes that are holding you back from achieving your goals might be an appropriate way to embrace the energies of a nine day.

The Chariot is fast moving. The two stallions race at a cracking speed. They are fiery and impulsive both are pulling you in two directions. Which way will I go? You are focused on holding on tight to the reigns – it’s your way or the highway and you won’t be swayed. Steer the Chariot in the direction of your dreams – that’s the only way.

The Star is curious and coy. She is the protégé of Zeus. Her optimism is fetching and your confidence maligned. Her truth is transparent as she prepares for the next phase – spites and lines have come to earth and she doesn’t abide.

Her journey is the only concern – her experiences are like gold pouring from the vessel on her shoulder. I’ve overcome the devilish seduction and now I am poised to take the ride to liberation.

The Empress is our Earth Mother, Gaia. She has committed an unspeakable act of motherhood. He daughter, Persephone prepares for her descent into Hades as the seasons turn to autumn. Gaia promises us that it is a new phase and a new chapter of opportunities. I wonder why must they be founded on human torment?

It is believed that the best counsellors are the ones who’ve experienced, lived, learned and survived the most painful challenges. Empathy emerges from the darkness of life. How can we begin to heal others if we’ve not danced in the shadow lands of despair? Our wisdom becomes the escape route and we become the rescuer – if we dare!

Sometimes I accept those challenges as lessons learned which have taken place fear beyond the reach of theories or books. Those lessons of rejection, persecution and human suffering come with a price tag and transforms into the most valuable tools for self discovery and empowerment. Don’t you agree?

Put the books and theories away today and step outside and play. It’s Sun-day – the first day of the week. Set the tone for fun and enjoyment and give the academic tour a break.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Surrender to the real you!

Surrender to all those ideas about being what you are not, and become what you really are. When you surrender to your nature, to what you really area, you no longer suffer. When you surrender to the real you, you surrender to life.

The Sun languishes in Pisces a little longer today. He moves into Aries tomorrow and the pressure will be on. The Moon remains in practical Taurus and its time to plan and organise and take practical steps toward well considered goals.

A number eight day promises to be a day of work and balance. The two circles in a constant flow of harmony and truth.

Temperance rises about the mundane and offers wisdom from the dark recesses of reflection. She takes us to a place of acceptance and philosophical perspectives. Life is far too short to squalor in the insignificances that taunt our daily lives. Don’t look over your should and seek approval from others because it really doesn’t matter what they think – what matters is who you are!

Justice makes no apologies and does not curtsey to those who had behind the snide shrug and the pathetic pouts. Stride the corridors of blame with your head held high and slide down the banisters of non-compliance because its only a game.

The wheel of fate lashes out with a delectable meal. My plate is full of sumptuous morsels and tempting choices. Eat up and don’t procrastinate there may not be another chance to savour the ambrosia of the cosmos. Life is abundant with opportunities don’t linger in the pond of procrastination. Success cannot wait a moment longer.

It’s Saturday a day to work, rest and play. Don’t waste a minute in the post mortem of regret. Accept the week that was in the spirit of lessons learned. It’s just a tick on the session plan.

Creative images take my breath away. The outpouring of imagination captures and digested into min soufflés. Pictures and music are the seduction. Video clips revealing tiny takes of love, life, hate, tortured souls and self reflection; pantomimes with life-sized puppets dancing on the stage writhing to their own special tune.

Are we just actors on a stage? Is our script foretold and the ink has dried - no room for changes – edits don’t come my way. I don’t’ want to continually play this scene, please take me away. Wait until a more suitable role happens my way. Maybe tomorrow, what do you think?

Love, Peace and Harmony,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Love coming out of you makes you happy

The whole world can love you, but that will not make you happy. What will make you happy is to share all the love you have inside you. That is the love that will make a difference.

The Moon has moved into the practical sign of Taurus today. Good food, fine clothes and pragmatic steps in the health and beauty routine are the vibe in this Venus-ruled day. Keep in mind we are in the last couple of days of the Piscean sun phase so we may tend to be a little dreamy too.

It’s a number seven day – a day of inner reflection. It’s a day to search within and consider what makes us happy. Love makes me happy. Well, love and respect makes me happy. When I love and respect myself and those gifts are returned to me then I am one happy woman.

I suppose I don’t expect everyone I know (or don’t know for that matter) to love and respect me although if I am respected as a human being then that makes me feel pretty comfortable.

If I am not respected (you know, common courtesy afforded any human being) then I become disappointed and annoyed – well quite offended if the truth be known.

Yasmin Boland has asked us to consider not getting obsessive in the planetary aspects today. So I will stop there on this bandwagon. This love and respect theme is a soap box topic of mind so I will postpone the topic and discuss it at a later more cosmic pleasant time; anyhow, moving right along.

The Lovers portend harmony and communication – move along and keep the flow of love surging between you and your world. Justice suggests contracts and agreements – weigh up your offers and be discerning about your direction. The Chariot gallops in and takes us forward – in two directions simultaneously – hold on tight to the reigns and don’t be swayed by the opinions of others.

Take some time today to work in natural surroundings. Be kind to yourself and reflect on your next step. Weight up the love you have inside yourself and the determination to go after what you want. Consider how you can share these gifts with the world. Love and respect are the most beautiful gems we can give ourselves and share with humanity.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Accept your own beauty

You are beautiful no matter what your mind tells you. That is a fact. If you are aware of your own beauty and accept your own beauty, the opinions of others don’t affect you at all.

I often wonder what drives the beautiful elite to continually have surgery. If they are already beautiful then why aren’t they happy with themselves? I’m not opposed to a little maintenance or to have a little freshen but the journey under the knife can be fraught with danger. Well any surgery can be dangerous for that matter.

At what point do we come to realise that we are beautiful enough? How much money does it take for feel comfortable in our own skin? Or is the full stop on the body alterations comes when then the sentence is out of adjectives. Just a thought.

I guess it is like starving yourself for a dress size. I can’t imagine myself doing that. In fact I’m more like a child on a long car trip, “are we there yet?” on the diet reduction merry-go-round.

I love food. Actually I am a self-confessed hedonist. In that view I’ve based my weight loss goal on the focus for a healthy body and a healthy mind. The pursuit of a healthy lifestyle is purely focused around my relationship with food. Rather than give up or do without I’ve changed my perception of food.

So, instead of being a slave to sugary I eat with intention. Sometimes I break my own rules about eating the right fuel which reminds me that yes I am human. I accept responsibility and re-evaluate my situation and forgive myself and my transgressions. And then I move on with conviction toward my goal of a healthy body.

Primarily, my view is medicine. What I eat makes me feel good, nourishes my body and gives me the right energy to push the synapses along the healthy highways – pushes my body for one more exercise and lifts my soul to an enlightened Nirvana. Well that’s the theory.

Athena cuts through the crap. She warns that words mean nothing without action. Step fooling you – the scales don’t lie – step up and be counted or perish in a pool of lies. Judgement keeps the cycle of metamorphosis in play – don’t delay as your health is a priority – today and everyday. The Moon offers cycles and signs to plant your seeds and motivate your behind. She is in Aries today so don’t dawdle – get up and play!

It’s a number six day – take responsibility for what you do – there are more excuses than enthusiasm in your stew of broken promises to you.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

You are the force that is life!

You are alive – you are the power of life. You are the force that is life, but because you are able to think at the level of the mind, you forget what you really area.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

The Leprechauns are running wild today. There is magic and mischief in the air. It’s one of my friends birthday today – so happy birthday Unichaun. This friend is creative and mystical and she has a twinkle in her big blue eyes that spells out magic loud and clear. I wish her all of the luck and magic of the leprechauns today and always.

The Moon is in Aries and you are reminded of the force within. It’s a bit like Obi Won reminding Luke Skywalker to use the force. Instead I am reminding you that you are the force and the creator of your life so soak up this Moon and get crackin’.

It’s a number five day which primarily means changes. The numerological movement suggests that the foundations built yesterday will be tested in a five day. I’m not saying destroyed or overwhelmed just given a little nudge to check for resilience. Say, you’ve declared that you are living in a diet zone then the conviction will be tested on a five day. Hang tough and don’t let the muffin take control of your life.

The Emperor rises above all of the promises of magic and reminds us to get real. Own your habits and excuses – labels are tokens of resistance. You are not just, “a – whatever”. You are a force of nature and are unstoppable in your pursuit of the best life.

Judgement cautions us to be discerning about decisions that could impact on our lives for years to come. Be aware that the choice you make today will create the future.

The Wheel of Fortune spins in with destiny and fate at the helm. You turn the wheel and hold your breath – prizes and won and lost on this week and it is all up to the force to stop at the right notch.

These subconscious and numerological cycles influence our lives to a degree. Sure our story board draws a path of least resistance. However, ultimately it is up to us and our gift of free will that governs our daily lives.

On that note: have a magical St. Patrick’s Day and happy birthday Meggsie.

Love, Peace, Magic and Joy,

You can live in heaven right now!

You can live in heaven right now; you don’t have to wait to die! If you take responsibility for your own life, for your own actions, then your future is in your hands, and you can live in heaven while your body is alive!

The New Moon in Pisces offers a nutritious and fertile soil to plant the seeds for future orchards. A very close and special friend of mind has just brought a property. This purchase is one of her dreams. She is now planting fruit and olive trees for her orchard. This is her vision.

To protect this dream and the future crops she is considering pests and the weather condition and how that will impact on her orchard. So my suggestion to you is to plant your seeds but consider future weather conditions and pests – plant with a positive intention but embed strategies for protection for your wishes. I hope that all of your harvests will be abundant and healthy.

The Moon moves into the go-getter sign of Aries late this afternoon. This transition will shake, rattle and roll us out of the Neptunian phase. We have languished long enough in the Pisces mist and now the Arian moon phase will encourage us to move out booties and prepare us for the month ahead. The Sun will move into Aries in five days time.

A number four day is prime for laying foundations for the future. Four is stable and solid. Build a bridge to a new location the skies are supportive for moving on.

The High Priestess is wise to the harsh lessons and dark nights of the soul. She has traversed the bleak canyons of Hades and fought the fires of hell. Sure her innocence has been scorched but she is not cynical or lost her girlish ardour. What can I learn from her? It too shall pass enters my thoughts and consumes my mind. I am stronger than I gave myself credit for – I am a survivor that is for certain. Work hard and I will accomplish my goals. Hold my ideals close to my chest and allow them to infiltrate into the beat of my heart.

The Star is poised for a moment in the spotlight. Her vision has battled with the spites – she has won. She stands proudly and is resolute and shy – do not underestimate her resilience. She will not be trampled again.

Just is a lady. Her sword points toward heaven. The scales are balanced in front of her and she knows right from wrong. She has fought the good fight. She has overcome fear and inertia and her heart beats loud and strong as she slices away the layers of trepidation.

I have a lot in common with these three Goddesses of the Major Arcana. Their journey has resembled mine in some respects. I’ve grown and learned harsh lessons and overcome painful experiences – but haven’t we all? Some of these lessons I’ve created and others I’ve asked for. Why? Well because I wanted to grow, stretch and push myself into foreign encounters and rise above adversity. Allow the metamorphosis I’ve signed on for to eventuate and take me to places where I thought I could never go. It is through these challenges that I’ve embraced the darkness that lurks deep within the human soul.

The New Moon encourages me to stretch a little further – push the boundaries of my human-ness. Where to from here I ask once again as I pull out the map and scan a new horizon.

My theory is based on the premise that it is okay to make mistakes. I give myself permission to put my toe in the stream, paddle and possibly wade in a little further. If it is a clean and comfortable lagoon I drift into a cave and swim a little longer.

If the lake is toxic and I can’t stand the smell then I dry myself off and sit on the nearest rock – I sun myself and pull out the map, grab my compass and I am off again.

I want to close this entry today with a Walt Disney theme song, “when you wish upon a star your dreams come true!” Hey tinker bell – over here!

Love, Peace and Magic,

You are only responsible for your half of the relationship

There are two halves in every relationship but you are only responsible for your half; it is not up to you to control the other half, respect the other half and there is and there is always going to be peace in that relationship.

Mercury and Uranus combine for an electrifying day. It’s a number three day so there is a lot of communication on the line. Ideas, concepts and conversations combine with short journeys taking us to the limit of our intellectual pursuits. Stretch yourself just a little and you won’t be sorry.

The Sun and Moon in Pisces make this an exquisitely emotional day – the dreamy love song is about to be build to an exciting crescendo.

Yesterday I was blessed out of my mind. Roger and I went to the National Gallery of Australia for a tour of the Masterpieces from Paris. After the guided tour we had high tea in the sculpture garden. As the fog rolled in over the pond champagne corks popped and we dined on French pastries. What a sensational Piscean afternoon strolling around the Masterpieces from the Musee d’Orsay. What an extraordinary experience – prices less!

Temperance takes us from the ordinary to the sublime. Explore the wandering minstrel within. The Fool is up for the new horizons – wait for me – you know I can’t run that fast! Pack your rucksack and let’s begin. There is no time to waste. The Hermit ushers in caution and wisdom – don’t travel without your compass and don’t wander to far from home. Take enough sustenance for the entire tripe. Look after yourself and you will return to the lingering shadows of your mind, enlightened by the journey.

It’s a Monday – Moon Day; the eve of the New Moon in Pisces. Write, create, and outline your dreams, ready for the rich fertile pasture of tomorrow land.

Dare to dream the future holds the promise of your hopes and wishes.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Love is all around you!

You search for love outside yourself when love is all around you. Love is everywhere, but you need to have eyes to see.

The Moon and Sun are in dreamy Pisces. It’s Sunday which is great for a move, gallery, and romantic interlude or just taking a stroll around the neighbourhood.

The Pisces moon makes a harmonious link to Pluto in Capricorn so some day dream believing about career path or vocation would certainly set the wheels of manifestation in motion.

Later on today the Moon meets Mercury for a stop and learn. And the chatter on the line says that there is movement in the synapses.

These criteria are boasting tiny steps in the process of visualisation. This is the time to till the soil. The New Moon will come up on Tuesday morning which will be like the most fertile time to plant those seeds.

One word of caution though (well perhaps two) is that you need to be specific about your seeds. Instead of asking, I want a good job that will pay the bills, describe the job – how does it look and feel – how do you feel? Are you happy going to work everyday? Do you feel validated? Are you in synch with your team? How much money do you want to earn (realistically speaking)?

Another word of caution is, be careful what you wish for. Phrases like, I bet I get this – or I couldn’t get that… will only create those situations and ultimately all you are doing is creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sounds familiar?

The fresh ingredients and the right temperature will bake the soufflé of our dreams.

An 11/2 day promotes a public and private feel. Agreements and contracts are in line with the energy of this masterful day. Eleven is a master number so there may be lessons to be learned but isn’t there always? Our life is a continuum of learning in this earth school. Actually, I’ve heard many people say that they got their degree from the school of hard knocks. To be honest, it shows too!

The World heralds the end of a cycle. The fruit is ripe and hanging on the vine ready for the plucking. This card exudes abundance and feeling nurtured within the garland of plenty.

The Lovers wink and nod because they know what is really going on. Love, curiosity, communication and imagination are potent ingredients for a smoozy day in the Neptunian haze.

At the Wheel of Fortune we encounter the three goddesses of Fate, who the Greeks called the Moirai. In myth, the Moirai were the daughters of Mother Night, conceived without a father. The three fates weave the thread of a human life in the secret darkness of their cave, and their work could not be undone by any god, not even great Zeus. Once the destiny of an individual was woven, it was irrevocable, and could not be altered; ad the length of life and the time of deal were part and parcel of the share which the Moirai allotted.

On a divinatory level, the Wheel of Fortune augurs a sudden change of fortune. This may be ‘good’ or ‘bad’ but whichever the Wheel turns it brings growth and a new phase of life.

The stage is set for some romance, relaxation and rejuvenation; the three ‘R’s of a bountiful and joyous life. I’m committed to those three concepts. I relish in the magic and mayhem they create.

I have a massage booked for this morning. And then the gallery for a Parisian sojourn. What about you? What are your plans? How do you intend to capture the Piscean energy of the day? Immerse yourself in the romantic mist, even if you don’t have a partner bask in the energy with a candle lit bath or a coffee date with your best mate. Keep the conversation light and bright. Talk about you wishes and what you want for your next phase.

Don’t tell me you are doing house work or domestic drudgery – I just couldn’t bear it on a day like today!

Peace, Love and Joy,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Create a new agreement based on love and respect

Take the responsibility to make new agreements with those you love. If an agreement doesn’t work, change that agreement and create a new one! Use your imagination to explore possibilities.

The cycle ends with a number ten and instantly begins with a number one. Yes, it’s a 10/1 day! Its time to close the chapter on what has been happening over the past nine days and look for a new hook to start the next chapter.

The Moon is in Aquarius and friends and associations are highlighted today. A trek through the eleventh house is a fun ride.

Coincidently, the Empress gives birth to a new phase. The labour is over and its time to nurture the babe. The world can be an unfriendly place but you are safe and warm with me. Nurture the love within yourself and you will radiate that love out into the world.

The great benefactor, Jupiter is the ruler of the wheel of fortune. It is a time of growth and expansion and it has the fair ground appeal. The wheel turns in your favour and you have a ticket to ride. Buckle up and hold on – get ready for the ride of your life!

The Lovers are synchronous. They are in tune, in love and in the moment. The world outside is irrelevant to their special tune. The notes are played on their exquisite instrument – the intent is bliss as they return to their Utopian room.

The scene is set for another beautiful weekend. The sun is beaming through my window. The facets on the crystals capture the sunlight and sprinkle rainbows dancing for my delight.

It’s Saturday and a time for work and rest. I’ve slept in this morning but I don’t care. I’ve honoured my need to relax and enjoy the morning without time demands and domestic expectations.

We are planning a quiet weekend. What about you? The energies of the day are mixing a cocktail of work, rest and play and I step up to drink the ambrosia from the goblet of abundance.

Focus for the desire of a blissful interlude is priority number one. I choose to disregard the world outside my sanctuary.

Sounds wonderful? Well, I’m off to do the washing. What about you?

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Respect each others dream

In a relationship there are two dreamers with two different dreams. You need to accept the differences that exist between two dreamers; you need to respect each others dream.

It’s a 333 day when communication and the Angels surround us with a more prominent focus on Angelic guidance. This is probably a good thing as the propensity to speak your truth is rife.

Speaking your truth with positive intention is highly regarded. Why not? It’s seems that everyone else has an opinion – don’t they? What if your truth collides with another person’s dream? What if we shatter another person’s dream with our comments?

We all have our dreams – we all have the right to dream so allow the dream to take you want to be. And if you meet another dreamer along the way then nod and wish them well.

The Hierophant is the wise counsellor. His dream is primarily as the healer. He suggests, “Healer; heal thyself. His wisdom is borne of pain. His love for humanity fulfils him.

The Wheel of Fortune takes the dream into the world. Lights; camera and action we are in the spot light and living our truth tonight. The benefactor adds momentum and the stage are set for our dreams to come true.

The Moon glimmers and transits each sign her with lunar magic. She is high in the sky and fading into a dark moon phase right now. She speaks to me of loyalty and truth – recommending that I only take the most trusted and respectful confidantes with me on my journey.

The dream is real – you know that? The stage is set. Live your truth and don’t forget that this is the play of a lifetime.

The ebb and flow of my life takes me from one lesson to another. I’ve learned to meander with the challenges, grieve the lessons and release the pain when it is all done.

The Pisces Sun is a powerful resource – the poetic sonnet of love, ambition and disillusionment, loss and grief play a sorrowful tune in my heart.

After the death there is a rebirth. In this infant phase I feel the optimism surge within my soul. Now where was that treaty?

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Forgive others

Forgiveness is the only way to heal your emotional wounds. Forgive those who hurt you no matter what they’ve done because you don’t want to hurt yourself every time you remember what they did. When you can touch a wound and it doesn’t hurt, then you know you have truly forgiven.

This is an interesting concept and fits in nicely with the Aquarian moon. Aquarius rules the eleventh house of friends and associations. Aquarius is also linked to humanitarian issues and the good of all. As you forgive you begin to heal. Allow the healing to begin.

Mars turns direct in Leo today – whew! Thank goodness! It’s been a tough retrograde over the past few months. As I said to a friend last night, this phase has been like walking in wet cement – you may stall for while and the cement sets and you are stuck and you end up with cement shoes.

Now it is time to crack the cement shoes and put on the roller skates. The benefit of this retrograde cycle creates an opportunity to reflect and consider our next stage.

Mars is now direct in my tenth house of career and public recognition. So it is full steam ahead on that path – woo hoo!

It’s a number eight day of balance and harmony. Let’s throw a little achievement in there too. It’s a day when you become the executive in your world. It is a good time to consider what you have done and contemplate your next move.

Strength offers the courage to overcome the fear of change. The unknown beckons and we are concerned if we are going to have a good time?

Judgement is letting go of the pain that holds us back. Ouch! Release the past and you will be the creator of your future.

The Wheel of Fortune heralds a phase bursting with richness and abundance. The music chimes and the wheel moves forward – all aboard!

The Emperor takes pride in his decisions. It’s a positive and assertive role you must take to climb to the top. You are nearly at the summit and the air is much clearer up there.

I’ve met many people who wallow in the pain of the past. I am a little guilty of that too at times. The wounds run deep and are painful however it is best to forgive yourself and the events that have kept your trapped in a negative dialogue. Re-write your script for the affirmations that will take you into a confident and contented realm.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Love has no obligations or expectations

When you love, whatever you do is because you want to do it. It becomes a pleasure; it’s like a game, and you have fun with it. When you love, you don’t expect something to happen, whatever happens is okay, and hardly anything disappoints you.

The Moon in Capricorn continues down the career path. A number seven day suggests inner reflection and guidance. I am seduced by the subtle energies of the day and feel that I have an escape plan at last.

Do you know how soul destroying it is to be in the wrong place with the wrong people? You feel lost, alone and abandoned by the swirling tide of torment. The tide shifts and you can hold your head above water long enough to see land and your pull yourself up on to the sand. I’m about to step on to the sand.

The Hierophant lingers in the cave of wisdom. His journey into the dark night of the soul has been a treacherous one. His life has been saved – for now. He seeks answers of a philosophical kind and his degree comes from the School of Hard Knocks. He is about to graduate.

The Hanged Man cautions – timing is everything child, don’t make haste – be careful of your next move it has to sit right with the next phase of the plan.

Judgement is shedding; relinquishing the cloak of yester-year. The time has come to leave the sadness and disillusionment of the past behind. The past has served it purpose. You are free and that is all that matters. Leave the nightmare – now!

Being in the wrong relationship or wrong job has such painful repercussions. It’s painful – sure but it is also a steep learning curve. We try so hard to make each other fit the expectations of the role or the reflection of who we desire. This cycle of violence erodes our self esteem and confidence; eventually leaving us with a damaged impression of who we once were.

How do we find the courage to move on and find the perfect fit? We seek solace and counsel with friendships and sometimes with unhealthy habits of denial. Loving ourselves enough to break the cycle is the greatest gift we can give ourselves - once the cycle is broken look to your heart, soul and passion for the new direction of your evolution. It’s the only way out!

Love, Peace and Happiness,

There is wisdom in accepting what you are

It is difficult to be what you are not. Being what you are doesn’t require any effort. When you become wise, you accept yourself the way you are, and the complete acceptance of yourself becomes the complete acceptance of everyone else.

It is a number five day – a day of changes. Rain has come to the Territory – water is splashing off rooves and into the gutters. The maple outside my window is dancing in dew-laden glory. She carries the silvery shawl of nature’s haberdashery.

I pulled back the blinds and stood in awe of the constant flow celebrating the rich liquid blessing. I know it rained last night – storms and showers lashed the land around my home. The excitement of the skies perpetuated a wondrous flow of magic and cleansing throughout my soul.

The Lovers are intoxicated with each other’s stare – the world is a million miles away and they don’t care.

The wounded healer hides in his cave and shuns the world until he is brave enough to emerge – renewed and wise.

The High Priestess knows all about the dark side of life. After all she’s been to hell and back. Sitting serenely on her throne she reveals her story; her secrets are published in the journals of torment; her courage and lessons – no secret.

The Emperor is a powerful force. He is the King of Gods – of course. Don’t be afraid to face your nemesis – they are only figments of your fear – smash them into little pieces, dear!

The rain brings a renewed perspective – fresh, vibrant and alive. I am not concerned for my change in direction comes with intention and purpose. I am alive and vibrant – determined to live each day with a zest of peace and harmony. What about you?

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

To master love, you have to practice love

The art of relationship is a whole mastery, and the only way to reach mastery is with practice. To master a relationship is, therefore, about action; it is not about attaining knowledge.

The philosopher within emerges in the Sadge moon. Venus has moved into Aries and the romantics are bound for a journey from dreams and sonnets (Pisces) to action baby (Aries).

The Sun swirls in the Neptunian dream space (Pisces) and is Mercury still holding hands in the poetic Piscean playbook. There are a lot of ‘woulds’ and ‘coulds’ in our sentences right now however the tense will shift into action verbs when the Sun moves over into Aries later on in this month.

It’s Sunday morning and mid-way through a long weekend. I am enjoying this time in my home and with my family. Tonight we are having friends over to dinner. The rest and the ambience are superb – I am able to focus and float in a creative and metaphysical state – priceless.

The Wheel of Fortune reminds me of the beneficial ‘now’. I am swept up in the force of creation. What you think you create. The expansion of my mind elicits the possibilities of a limitless Universe. I am free to create the magic and direction of the wheel.

The Star shines brightly in my current phase. She is magnificent and offers a rare insight into a specific facet of my personality which has been hidden for eons. Stand proud in the face of adversity – you deserve the best – the past is a memory – there is only the exquisiteness of the moment.

The Hanged Man whispers, “its coming, don’t be afraid to dream the impossible dream. Life is a dream and you are merely an actor playing role. Here’s your script. You have a choice. You can change the ending.”

Script edit: cross out – new sentence, “it all began in a dream.”

The Hierophant cautions prudence and patience – “Oh pooh, not more patience!”

“Yes my child, the change is near – savour the magnificent memories along the way – rest your weary soul and prepare for the journey into the unknown.”

The clock ticks loud and deliberate – its’ time to get up and participate in the creation of the dream.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Love is unconditional

In love there are no conditions; you love for no reason, with my justification. You are free to be what you are, and you allow others to be what they are.

The Moon in Sadge offers a positive force to move forward. The philosophical Sadge casts his arrows wide – his mind expands with the big picture of life.

The Sun is in Pisces so there is a nice Jupiterean flow between these two cousins. Both Pisces and Sadge are ruled by the big benefactor and therefore the chance for optimism is strong.

The Sun beams with golden allure. Apollo the Sun God offers the banquet of food, good music and good times. It is the weekend after all, isn’t it?

The Tower represents our values – our beliefs which encompass our essential truth. The attack comes from others – the lightning bolts out of the blue.

Judgement is the end of a phase – a letting go – shedding what is no longer of use. I must be reborn with a new point of view – there is no where else to go! I can’t keep going down this same dark avenue.

The Chariot rushes in and sounds the horn. All aboard! Hold on. Your life is about to take an interesting turn and you will have a choice – a new direction or two.

It’s a number three day of communication, short journeys and surprise events. It’s day to get out into the community and enjoy the connections with friends, siblings and neighbours. I love the rattle and hum of the number three – fun and laughter are usually top of the pops.

I have so much to be grateful for in my life – I am blessed with the love of family, golden friends and amazing opportunities. I am truly blessed! My life is a rich pallet of colours that blend perfectly to bring out the brilliance of my experiences.

I have learned many lessons since my arrival in the ACT. This week my Coffs Harbour property settled and that is an end of an era. This chapter closes with a sigh of relief. Now I sit poised with my hands clasped in anticipation for the next exciting phase of my life.

NB: Today I read an article while having coffee at my favourite weekend hub. The story was about Lara Bingle and how she does not deserve to be humiliated. I agree but wish to extend to the global village and shout out loud, “no one deserves to be humiliated!”

Peace and Love,

Forgive yourself

The Sun a Moon are in a supportive aspect. The Sun is in dreamy, romantic and imaginative sign of Pisces. The Moon is in fellow water sign, Scorpio. This watery trine between two emotional mates can facilitate an excavation into the motivations between our heads and our hearts. For me it is a moment to be gentle with myself and to contemplate the act of forgiveness.

The supreme act of forgiveness is when we can forgive ourselves for all of the wounds we’ve created in our own lives. Forgiveness is an act of self-love. When you forgive yourself, self acceptance begins and self love grows. Let’s say I’m a work in progress – but still have a long way to go!

The Wheel of Fortune promises a beneficial cycle of love and golden opportunities. Love makes the world go around and peace is the soul elixir. I feel extremely fortunate in my personal relationships and especially in my marriage. My personal life chimes like a Ferris wheel in full tilt roaring out messages of love and respect.

The Tower is representative of the lightning bolts out of the blue – the arrows, spears and slights of the unsuspecting foes. Ironically, the Scorpio Moon brings them out of the woodwork and the point darts wound my fragile soul.

The Devil represents oppression and fear. I take responsibility for my role in this toxic cycle of abuse. Why do I allow it? When can I free myself from the chains of oppression? Do I have the strength to toss off the shackles of pain and regret? I don’t know and that’s the truth.

The Fool promises a new horizon. I crave his enthusiasm and endurance. I beg for his vitality and the wonder of his imagination and vibrancy. Rescue me from the darkness of my despair. Can I tag along? Can I join you in each and every step of the way? Please don’t leave me alone to perish in the blackness of my disappointment.

When you pick up a rock make sure you are prepared to face what is lurking underneath. Before you turn it over ask yourself, “Do I really want to know what is clinging to the underbelly of my curiosity? Today has the potential for enlightenment and healing. Bask in the energies of the Sun and Moon as they hold hands a soar across the sky.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Become a servant for love and truth

Speaking of your truth today holds the cauldron of truth bubbling away with the force of Mercury and Pluto. This alignment may cause some disruption or eruptions in your relationships.

The Moon is in the sign of the detective – Scorpio – always searching for the truth – working hard on uncovering the tiny details – picking up rocks and stones and turning them over – yes even poking into places that are best left alone . That’s the way of the Scorpio – believe me – I knot this to be true. The sagest advice I can offer on a day like today is to thine self be true!

The Hanged Man encourages us to go with the flow – oh darn it – I’m so over that! Let’s blow a little wind into those sails and set the navigator for a new horizon.

The Empress smiles a quiet confident smile – she has a secret. Come on give it up. We’ll coax her for a while – ah – nope you’ll just have to wait and be patient for a moment longer.

Death strides into my morning spread – you know you want this; you know you need this – come on get ready for the end of the old ways and embrace the new – its just for you! Be bold. Be courageous. Drop the ways that have kept you imprisoned for too long.

The Hierophant emerges from the cave. All good things come to those who wait. Be patient. Be prudent. You must be respectful and loving.

I can sense that situations are changing in my heart. I am in the centre and the gravity that pulls me toward a new place is strong. Mars is still retrograde but the shift is swirling around taking me into the jet stream.

The desire to shed the unwanted kilos is strong. A visit with my dietician and a meal plan with portions is in my grasp. I have the map – the ingredients for success. Now all I need is the will and the power to maintain the momentum and lust toward my healthy, balanced, loving self. I will achieve. I will stick to the plan. I have a partner who is committed and strong. I am fortunate and blessed. I am a servant of love and truth.

Love is what makes you happy, and if you become a service of love and your partner becomes the servant of love, the day will come when you can be with your partner with no guilt and no blame, no anger and no sadness.

Love, Peace and Joy,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Miracles happen when you forgive

A number nine day promises empowerment and resolution. It’s time to draw a line under a nine day cycle. Lesson learned and promises made over the past week and a half are draw into resounding conclusion. I know that I’ve learned a great deal about myself and others during this turbulent time. But am I willing to forgive?

The High Priestess is calm and wise in her demeanour. She knows that she has been through the worst of times – now for the best.

The Fool bursts with enthusiasm and raw excitement. Which way will I go? The new highway holds the most promises and I am ready to take the express route.

The Empress is calm in her resolve for new beginnings. A show of calm discrimination resides behind the labour pains. I am ready to give birth to a new phase – yes I am!

How do I begin? I must forgive those who are my enemies or silent foes. Don Miguel Ruiz reminds us that, “You are born with the capacity to forgive, but you learn the opposite behaviour. You learn not to forgive, you practice not to forgive. When you learn to let go of your pride and ask for forgiveness, miracles start to happen in your life.

All the miracles to take you on a new and brilliant path!

Love, Peace and Happiness,

You have the power to create

The Moon in Libra brings balance and harmony to our emotions and socialisation. We are social beings who love to create.

It’s a number eight day of achievement and rich positive experiences. It’s also a day to set a reasonable agenda and engage positively in the outcome.

Mercury moves into Pisces today. So there seems to be a nice dreamy and positive flow. What do you want to change about your life? Step up to the easel and pain the landscape of your dreams.

Prometheus reminds me of the sacrifices I’ve made. He is fair and just and willing to be the martyr for our discontent.

The Wheel of Fortune rolls in and grabs our attention. Step right this way – enjoy the ride of your life.

The Fool embraces fresh perspectives and new experiences so don’t linger any longer in the sludge of disillusionment. Scrape off the mud and slush and move on!

Your power is so strong that whatever you believe comes true. You are the way you are because that is what you believe about yourself. You whole reality – everything you believe – is your creation.

Love, Peace and Joy,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Let your heart speak

Over the next 48 days we will the Mastery of Love created by Don Miguel Ruiz and his Toltec Wisdom: http://www.miguelruiz.com/ please joins me on this incredible journey.

The Full Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces are the cosmic flavour today. Virgo is details and specifics and Pisces is the Big Picture and random flashes of inspiration. No wonder we feel a little bipolar?

Speaking of imagination in full flight, I had a phone call from my friend and co-writer, TB Jackson yesterday. We spoke on the phone for ages about previous creative collaborations (October Wind, The Baker Flood, Winds of Change and the Trojans of Time: http://jestacom.biz/pdma/ ).

Our artistic journey has been prolific and even though we have had a hiatus we are still able to pick up the creative thread and weave plots and synopsis into our conversations. Sure our lives have become work oriented taking on jobs to pay the mortgage and feed the family (Virgo) however our dreams and visions linger in the Neptunian vistas of our imagination (Pisces).

The Wheel of Fortune heralds a change for the better. Jupiter and the Sun clink champagne glasses filled with celestial ambrosia. It’s a beneficial phase for those who dare to drink the cosmic elixir.

The High Priestess is grateful for her experiences and is proud of her scars; life as been cruel and sometimes unjust. The scars reveal the journey but we don’t have to them on display all of the time.

Judgement augurs choice – the timing is perfect for letting go of the unwanted and unnecessary. I am raw from the dispersions cast upon my soul and I shall overcome the torment to be reborn.

Life can be a struggle. It can take on the analogy of the mouse wheel. Round and round we go – we continuously race on the wheel with no real progress. Exhaustion and disappointment take us out of the race – a perfect time to contemplate.

The intensity of the Full Moon bursts into our psyche exploding the truth and shattering denial. What is really important to your right now? Relinquish the superfluous and shed the layers of lies that keep you trapped in the past. The truth will set you free – do you know where you are going? You know where you’ve been? You know where you want to go – oh crikey watch that tree!

A gentle breeze pushes my wind chimes and rattles a deep melodic Gregorian ding, dang dong. The sounds are distracting and purposeful – I am captivated again. Does that mean we can become easily distracted or does it mean we are captivated by the sounds a new direction.

Speak from your heart. The heart is in direct communication with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with resistance of the head, something inside your changes. Your heart opens another heart and true love is possible.

Love, Peace and Joy,

Julia Ashton-Sayers
